WASHINGTON (AP) – Jeb Bush is “moving forward” on a potential 2016 White House run and it appears more likely he’ll enter the Republican race. That’s the opinion of his son, who’s running for office in Texas.

George P. Bush tells ABC’s “This Week” that his father is “still assessing” a presidential bid, but it seems more likely he’ll seek the presidency this time. The former Florida governor declined to run for president in 2012 despite encouragement from Republicans.

George P. Bush is running for Texas land commissioner. He says his family would be “100 percent” behind his father if he decides to run for president.

Jeb Bush is the brother of former President George W. Bush and the son of former President George H.W. Bush.
